Your Contribution

Las Patronas funds grant requests for critically-needed capital items to qualified nonprofit applicants. Our beneficiaries come to us from across , and span every area of service to the community. Every dollar given to Las Patronas impacts our community on a very personal level. By funding grants for critically-needed capital items, we help fill a niche in the philanthropic community that otherwise may be overlooked, as many grant-making organizations will fund programs but not the tools needed to run those programs. Las Patronas funds these capital items with an eye to helping our valued San Diego nonprofits manage themselves more efficiently, creating a more sustainable future and ensuring that your contribution will be used by people right here in San Diego for years to come. Our beneficiaries are chosen from a large pool of applicants and are evaluated on the basis of their strength of mission, service to the people of San Diego, breadth of influence in the community, and fiscal responsibility. Qualified applicants must also be interviewed on site by a Las Patronas grant team before they can be considered for funding.

As you look over the list of our recent beneficiaries, you'll see that we have chosen nonprofits that cover a very wide range of services. During the last year alone, your donations funded 45 Las Patronas grants. Here are just a few examples of what your support has meant:

• A critically-needed new roof for a Next Step transitional housing program for the Center for Community Solutions • A 15-passenger van for students from low-income homes who attend The Nativity Prep Academy in • A cargo minivan for the “Waterproofing San Diego” program that teaches aquatic education and drowning prevention at the San Diego Junior Lifeguard Foundation • Exciting touch-screen technology equipment for the downtown Children’s Library at San Diego’s new Central Library • Two new CARESCAPE newborn patient monitors to capture vital information for Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women and Children • New computers, cameras, and software for empowering students to use digital media to create change at Outside the Lens • A refrigerated cargo van for donated food pickup and delivery to those in need at So Others May Eat • Two replica Bombardeta Cannons for the Juan Cabrillo’s San Salvador ship will be provided for the Maritime Museum Association of San Diego • Uniforms for 1,100 intellectually-challenged athletes with the Special Olympics San Diego County • A diesel-powered brush chipper for environmental, forestry and habitat management projects at Urban Corps of San Diego County

And there are so many more, representing the arts, culture, music, health, youth and senior services, education, animals, the environment, medical research, the homeless - in short, services that affect us all.

Our Mission

Las Patronas is committed to providing financial assistance to nonprofit organizations in San Diego County that provide valuable community services in the areas of health, education, social services and cultural arts, and to continuing our tradition of service to enhance the quality of life in our community.

A Tradition of Giving

Las Patronas is a philanthropic organization with a long history of giving. Since its inception in 1946, Las Patronas has donated more than $17 million to over a thousand charitable institutions in San Diego. The funds distributed to these organizations are generated through year-long fundraising efforts and the annual presentation of the Jewel Ball, one of San Diego’s most enduring social, cultural, and philanthropic traditions.

Our Mission. Las Patronas is committed to providing financial assistance to non-profit organizations in San Diego County that provide valuable community services in the areas of health, education, social services, and cultural arts, and to continuing our tradition of service to enhance the quality of life in our community

Las Patronas is highly respected for its fiduciary responsibility to its donors and great stewardship of each contribution it receives. The Las Patronas grant process involves a thorough evaluation of each organization that applies for funding including the review of its mission, operations and capital needs. All qualified grant applicants are visited on-site and interviewed by a team of Las Patronas members. Grant requests are then reviewed by the entire membership in order to prioritize funding for the critically needed capital items. This ensures the most fundamental support is distributed to nonprofit organizations whose mission and reach will have the greatest impact on the citizens within our community.

All funds raised by Las Patronas stay in San Diego County and are distributed to many small grass-root nonprofits as well as larger, more visible organizations. By giving to Las Patronas, a company or individual diversifies its philanthropic giving – reaching children and seniors, the homeless and the disabled, emergency response teams and the military as well as supporting scientific research, health services, the environment and cultural arts – in a broad geographical range throughout San Diego.

With its philanthropic partners, both the sponsors and the nonprofit organizations, Las Patronas creates meaningful connections that touch countless lives and make San Diego a better place to live for everyone.
